Wholphin

Tonight! 6/24 @ 8:00pm
Los Angeles
Series: Cinefamily’s 2nd Annual Comedy Festival
Cinefamily’s Comedy Shorts Showcase
Co-presented by Dublab

With ready access to video equipment, more and more of the best young upcoming comics are turning to making shorts films, rather than doing stand-up or sketch comedy. In Cinefamily’s 1st Annual Comedy Shorts Showcase, you’ll see pieces from a typically eclectic range of sources — from Dublab-curated music videos to the newest additions to the YouTube classics canon (in better resolution than you’ve ever seen!), from Sundance official selections to outsider art obscurities existing way below the radar. We cap off this night of shits ‘n giggles with the hit web series Drunk History’s most very special episode: “Too Drunk History!!”, in which all of the filmed participants got a little too wasted to tell a cohesive history book narrative. Whether through passing out, wimping out, raging out or simply spiraling out into such sloshy babble that it demands subtitles, it’s a blast to watch these sauced lecturers fail so spectacularly.

Join us for a Wholphin No 11 release party and screening on Friday, May 14th
at 8pm at ATA in San Francisco. Films will include Werner Herzog giving a
voice to a lovelorn plastic bag in search of his Maker at the Pacific Trash
Vortex, a shocking documentary about a Russian finishing school for the
modern-day gold digger, a time-traveling Viking odyssey, the most
humiliating break up of all time, Dock Ellis, Reggie Jackson, Yogi Bear, and
much more.

Join us Monday April 26th, for A Drunken Evening with Derek Waters & Wholphin 9:30pm at the Sundance Kabuki Theater.

Derek Waters (Pity Card, Funny or Die) headlines this night of mild debauchery, featuring several of his short films including installments from the ridiculously popular Drunk History series for which actors such as Will Ferrell, Don Cheadle and John C. Reilly reenact videotaped recountings of historical events by sloshed storytellers. Simple, popular, dead-wrong, just like so many things we adore. The program also includes short film collaborations between Bob Odenkirk (Mr. Show) and Waters, including the hilarious The Pity Card from the series Derek and Simon, starring Waters and Simon Helberg (The Big Bang Theory) and featuring an appearance by the always disturbing Zach Galifianakis. Interspersed with these and other shorts will be conversation between Waters and Brent Hoff, editor of Wholphin. Bursts of audience participation and, no doubt, steady drinking will round out the evening.

Presented as a part of the San Francisco International Film Festival. Tickets cost $15 and can be purchased here through the festival box office: https://www.trilogyticketing.com/sffs/?SFIFF53
